OK, thanks for the feedback, Travis. I'll try to play with Andrew with this
problem, and we'll report back, or ask for help if we get stuck. I know he
was building against a Python built in /usr/local instead of the default
system one, but in principle that should work.
I'll let you know if we see problems, for now your message is very useful.
